The Ring's throne stands. in an alcove twelve PaCeB 1011 g, and eight broad. The hall is finely painted with battles in some parts, and lascivious pictures in others - . It is Supported by ,forty pillars, painted and gilt. There are curtains all round of cloth of gold flowered, which are drawn on the side where the sun enters, and extended in form of a tent, which makes the ball very cool. - The walls of the Seraglio are very high ; Islas large pleasant gardens with water-works a nd p on ds, in which there are gilt barges for the ladies. Ner against the Palace there is a noble structure :for the King's music, con sisting of two galleries on each side the imperial gate. Two hundred ..and. sixty4ti pik es from - the ,Royal Mosque above mentioned, i s th e gate of Ali's palace, which is a ,sanctuary for criminals. The , King has no power to sent those who enter' it, even though . guilty of high treason, but he may for bid .giving them victuals, and so starve them, or make them quit the place. He kisses the gate of this Palace with great ceremony, and never passes by it on horseback. The Sophist who guard this sanctuary, make great profit by extorting money from creditors and criminal s . All round th e Meidan there are fine buildings in form of porticoes, which serve for shops ; and over theta a range of arches more back ward, which, serve for galleries and passages to the.:ad joining caravanseras, and being all of an equal height, form a lovely prospect. r Before the houses, at some distance, there is a fair canal with rows of trees, which makes the place exceeding delightful. At sun-set and midnight there arc three concerts of music, which play from the Royal galleries, with several sorts of in struments, among which there is one like a speak ing trumpet heard all ever the. city, but more fit to alarm than divert. The middle of this piazza, is, filled with tents, where all sorts of goods are sold, but packed up at night, when guards are appointed' to go the rounds with fierce Clogs. In the evening, this place is filled with people of all sorts, to play at the mall, and in the middle there is a high mast with a round bull at the top, where the people exercise archery on horseback, by shooting backward like the Parthians, at the representation of birds, &c. at which some of them are wonderfully ex pert. When the King ahoots, a cup of gold is fixed as the prize on the top of the mast. Here are also 'bull fights, about which the different quarters of the city lay wagers, and many times quarrel. The King stands neuter, gives the master of the bull that Wins a Considerable sum, and they that wagered on his side likewise give him money. At the sides of the palace gates stand one hundred and nineteen canon, with the carriages, which the Persians brought from Ormus when they took it by aid of the English, but they are very ill kept ; Sir XII* Charlie)] gives a large description of the fortress( and of the treasure contained in it. He says, there is no place in the world has so much riches. Re obtained a sight of them by a particular favour.. The number of precious stones, the quantity of gold plate and alarms of all sorts, set with the richest jewels, is incredible, amounting to many millions. The doors and wiaclows are fortified with bars of iron, and strong guards are continually kept, since 1666, when three persons of note stole so many jewels from hence that they lived at an excessive rate. The robbery was dis. covered by one of them, who offered to sell the hilt of a dagger, worth 30,000 crowns to an Indian for 8,000. The Great Mosque or Cathedral here is the largest and most magnificent hi PerSia, it takes up above four acres of ground, is square, has abundance of domes, many high towers, seven great gates, is covered with enamelled tiles, painted a la M'oresque,with lovely shiningcolours ; and the walls for eight feet high, are faced with curious waved porphyry. Before it there is a spacious court with cloisters all round, supported by pillars of por phyry, and it has several large fountains for their puri fication. BARON LARREYS VISIT to GREENWICH HOSPITAL. The promised visit of this illustribus follower of the late Emperor of France, excited much interest amongst the faculty of this country, more particularly those of the public Hospitals, whose mausoleums, it was under stood, formed the loadstone of the Barons curiosity. On the 21st ult. the Baron, accompanied by an in teresting youth, his son, a Doctor Jones, of Paris, and Mr. Carpus, the eminent teacher of Adatomy, arrived at the hospital. Mr. Langstaff, the Medical Officer on duty, con ducted the veteran round the wards, described the his tory and treatment a the more important and interest ing diseases, as well as other particulars relating to Hligeini ; upon all which he commented freely, and offered many pertinent remarks, illustrative of vast ex perience, resulting from his numerous military cam paigns. The party, after a complete survey of the Hospital, joined Mr. Langstaff at an early dinner; and, pre viously to his departure, the Baron's favourite subject, Mara, hiving been introduced, Mr. Boyle's book, de ' scriptive of his modifications of that remedy, was pre vented to him ; on the receipt of w hi c h h e expressed much satisfaction, and a determination to compare the English with the French ;node of applyi ng t hi s extra ordinarily sure agent in the treatment of chronic diseases. A flock of 250 rams and ewes of the pure Leices ter breed; ►ere landed at Dieppe a few days ago from England. They arc destined for the environs of Ver sailles and the Royal Domain of Grignon. When the learned John Selden was a member of the famous Assembly of Divines at Westminster, who were appoint e d t o ne w model religion, he used to &- light in puzzling them with curious quibbles. In one f of these debates, th es e venerable sages wer e ver y gra vely employed in det erm i n ing the distance betw een Jgrusa lem and Jericho ; and one o the breth ren , to pr ove that it could be but a s h o rt distance, observed, "that fi s h was carried from oneyleee to the other." On which Mr. Selden said, " r wimps it was salt fish." This remark threw the determination again into uncer tainty. MURDER OF AN ENGLISH CAPTAIN Ali' tiVAM. (Prom a Correspondent.) The following iiieltinehaly narrative will be read *hit painful interest by every reflecting Mind In November, 1823, the ship Coquet, belonging to Lon don, and cOmmanded by Captain John Stayers, sailed from Gravesend for Japan, there to fish for spermaceti whales. Never did a vessel leave the .13titish shores better manned and fitted for such a voyage, the Captain and officers well skilled hi every requisite art, and looking forward, even then, as to no distant day when they should return, laden with the spoils of the mightiest monsters of the deep.*— Alas ! the greatest personage en board, not only, as re garded his station there, but from his personal physical qualifications, was destined not only never to see that country mere, but in a short space of time after leaving it, ' to have his - grave among the ungodly,far from his country , and friends, there to -sleep, not unpitied, it is true, but hitherto unavenged.t On the passage out, Captain Steven s , as is usual with persons engaged in similar voyages, touched at the island of Guam, one of the Ladrones or Marianes; he there pro vided the ship with such refreshments as she stood in need of, and with the fullest approbation of the Governor, Don Jose Gangs Herrero. Having thus done, he departed from the island in further prosecution of his voyage. The coast of Japan, upon which ships cruise in search of whales, is subject at certain seasons to the viiiitation of dreadful tempests, and, consequently at such period no vessels remain there. During the favourable season, Cap tain Stayers fished with.great success ; when this changed he, with divers other vessels, once more sought the port of Guam. • _ _ . Shortly after this second visit of Captain Starers to Guam, the Governor caused it to be intimated to him that he had imposed a duty of 30 per cent. on the goods left by him for sale, as before . mentioned. ,Captain Stayers had great reason to believe, thit this duty was imposed upon his goods only, and not upon those selling by 'others. Under these circumstances, it will not excite surprise in any one that Captain Stayers felt indigriant,and considered the conduct of the Governor both disingenious and unjust:. In the course of the day on which he received this tinexr pected and unpleasant information, he communicated with several masters of ships, who all concurred in deprecating. the demand set up by the Governor, and in the propriety of Capt. Stayers resisting the payment of it. Capt. Stayers accordingly resolved so to do, and expreasdd his determi nation to.see the Governor on the following day, and remon strate with him uponthe subject. In the evening,however, of the then present and fatal day, having talked over the grievance till it had become magnified into one of still greater importance than it really was, and having perhapp drank so freely as to unfit him for calm reasoning, he on a sud den determined, unseasonable as was the hour of evening for such an occasion, to go on shore and demand at once an explanation of the Governor. He landed accordingly, and proceeded forthwith to what is there called the Palace, and requested to see the Governor; the sentinels on duty refused him admittance ; this increased the irritation under which he laboured, so much so, that he expressed in very ' strong terms his determination to see the Governor in spite of all the opposition they might make. This being the case, and his demeanour testifying that it was likely he would be as good as his word, the sentinels at length thought proper to call the Governor, who in a few seconds appeared at a balcony elevated a few feet above the street ; as soon as he attracted the attention of Captain Stever; the latter addressed him upon the subject his mind was an full of, and in a short apace of time both parties were us angry as might be. Suttee it to say, that both felt ag grteved, and both talked of redress : finally, they grew cooler, and Captain Stayers departed under an assurance that the Governor would meet him in the morning, and give him the satisfaction of a gentleman. Under an'impression that all was at an end till the fol lowing day, Captain Stayers had seated himself in the house of an Englishman, had placed a glass of grog. before him, and was talking with evident satisfaction of the mor row, when a Spaniih o ffi cer entered the room. This per son bore the title. of Commissary ; he seemed always par ticularly well-disposed towards Captain Stayers, and on ap- proaching him now he laid his sword upon the table, shook hands with him cordially, and then , patting him upon the shoulder, said, with apparent sineerity, that all should be settled in the morning, and the duty about which so • much had been said be taken off.— Whilst he thus spoke ' and as it were almost instantane ously, the room was filled with soldiers (they entering with the utmost celerity through doors and windows), with a rapidity that left no opportunity for resistance (and therefore leaves without palliation their subsequent atrocious conduct); they seized Capt. Stayers and his mate, • The Coquet has just returned from the voyage, bringing .

Wrn. Stayers, and on board of which was Sir David Baird and suite, he was taken prisoner by a French frigate, but not until after a considerable resistance had been made, the. English vessel haying kept up a smart fire from the only two guns she possessed, until.the Frenchmen brought his broadside to bear upon her. As soon as the Captain eyed him, his uncle, and &Major Faulkner, (Sir David's Aide-de-Camp), all men of a daring appearance, be resolved upon removing them to his own ship, justly dreading, if he did not, t h at they would at tempt the recapture of the ship, and this they certainly would have done, and in all probability with success, as the Frenchman could not spare many men to man his prize. Sir David was left on hoard under 4 promise that he would not join in any attempt to retake the ship. A few days afterivards she was retaken by an English cruiser, and carried into an English port. Poor Sta. vent, his uncle, and the Major, wereshortly afterwards safely landed in France. The uncle was the first prisoner exchanged by Buonaperte, in, the war that succeeded the short peace ; and thi s exchange. was made for o French officer of ounniderablr rank. What become of Major Faulkner the writer known not; but the subject of this memoir remained a prisoner until the return of the Bour b ons , having been above ten years in confinement. , During this period he made numerous and extraordinary attempta to escape ; heelwAye succeeded in getting Outside his prison, and in effecting the escape of some one or more of his coadjutors.

ISPAHAN. Ispahan, the southern capital of Persia, is very ancient, and mentioned by old writers under several names. Herbert thinks it Ptolemy's Aspadana, be cause it agrees with his latitude, and supposes it to be that called Spada, Where cunuchS were first castrated. He says, that in his time it was nine miles round, contained 70,000 houses, and 2,000,000 people, and had merchants of most nations. The Holstein Am bassadors make it and the suburbs eight leagues round, reduce the houses to 18,000, and the inhabi tants to 500,000. The fortifications are of earth, and inconsiderable. Sir John Charden, who staid ten years in this city, and was the Kin of Persia' s merchant, spends eighty-four pages in describing it. He says it is one of the largest cities in the world, and with the- suburbs is twelve French leagues round. The inhabitants are by many reckoned 1,100,000, and they who reckon least make them, 600,000 ; but all the memoirs given him, agreed that the number of houses in the city and suburbs was 38,249. Upon the whole, he supposes Ispahan to contain as many people as London, which he says is the most populous city in Europe ; but Ispahan does not ap pear so populous, because almost all their women are kept up, and none but the meaner sort allowed to go abroad about business. The chief beauty of the city consists in its great number of magnificent palaces, pleasure-houses, spacious caravanseras, fine baaam, canals, and those streets which are planted with high plane trees on both sides. The walls of the city, ex cluding the suburbs, are twenty miles round, but so covered with hbuses and gardens that in many places they are not discerned. The city is washed on the S. and S. W. by the River Zendcrout, divided into two branches, one of which falls into the park, gild the other is conveyed by canals to the Royal gardemi, and by pipes 'to supply the city with water, besides which, they are well stored with springs. This river where the stone bridge lies over it, betwixt the city and the Royal garden, is as broad as the Thames at London, but not deep except in winter, when it does mischief by its inundations. Sir John says, there is another river called Mahmoudker, joined to it by art. It flows from a deep lake betwixt rocky mountains. The river is several places runs through cavities in the mountains, and among others there is a round passage as big as fair lons, through which the river runs like a pipe, and falls into a large deep bacon made by nature and art, and from thence it glides through the plain, and falls into Zendcrout. The bridges over the river are very curious and magnifi cent structures. Le Brun, who was here, says that it was called 'Alla-Werdie-Chan, is five hundred and forty paces long, seventeen broad, built of large stones, and has thirty-three arches, with ninety-three niches, some shut and others . open, and the two ends are flanked with four towers. There are. six passagei over the badge, viz, three above, that in the middle broad enough for two coaches to go abreast; and one on each side, being an arched passage from the one end of the walls to the other, for those who go on foot ; and . three of the same sort in the story underneath, with stairs so easy, that horses may go down to them ; and there nre two other passages for people on foot, one on each side, above the arches through which the river runs, which are of white stone. The bridge called Hassan-Ahael, on the east side of the city, is an hundred and eighty paces long,. sixteen wide, and built of hewn stone, with forty-two.niches on each side, some'open and others shut. It has twenty-eight arches, and the structure in the middle of the 'bridge has windows on each side, and stairs from the upper part. There is a third call ed Sadel-Abad, which is a noble structure ; a fourth called Ziareston, is also very. Magnificent, Ntithing can be more pleasant than the alleys, planted with trees from these bridges, on each side the river. The great ineidan, or market-place, is one of the stateliest, and Sir John Charden says, the most universal market or fair in the world ; it is 710 pacei long, and 210 broad. There are 50,000 lamps here, divided into 120 upon an arch, which being, lighted on solemn occasions,, make the noblest illumi nation that can possibly be conceived. The Royal mosque on the south side is one of the richest struc turesmarvellous architecture, adorn v:ithig:ictil:e universe of adorn ed with niches of 1000 has large sorts of figures, beautified It azure, transparent s m ro a u rh n l d e taintedm,jassuppepor, supported -b y marble pillars," th i at th and adorned with .fountains faced isiseen at four leNues ' . , Hussein' is kept the bloody a donne of the lOverthe .. , , tore in Persia, and so high i i t a sPer. heat architecture in . murdered, It I - - was di ‘ stane , e ; m this mosque country is reduc e 0 , 1 the priests make %A sh : j a rt r t d i e n , W A h i i t e h h ttlhiceYgSralateSt care, ft!r of this shirt f The re- Venue of this their : enemies to fligh irt tphuetPesiani believe, that when their an num ; and mosquethereare i 8 about vie retire during the h eat . f . e l' The noblest entrance into the meitlan'D* gate, which has a stately t l ome, the summer. - 000 sterling per 1 a el t3 i gi s ; t at h d e a thatthrough 'd at tniog.9wrl 1, t t il h e : I the m exposingpPee:a-i china curiously painted ; the ze f loors paved, and the walls faced with jasper and . with tiles of battles, &c.

A bayonet was at his thrupt in an instant, and a musket levelled at him, and in this state he was hurried into the guard-house, which Was tkite to the. palace; the governor almost immediately after entered,_his sword drawn, his frame agitated, hip countenante furl of ferocity--in a fi erce and hurried accent, he exclaimed to the mate in Spanish, Tranquille! tranquille! meaning, thereby, to enquire if he was peaceably inclined. As well as he could, he made the Governor understand that he desired to see his captain, and "guested to be conducted to him, (not in his worst forebodings dreaming he was dead); is wish was complied with, he was led to the door ; he looked out hastily, and anxiously searching for him with his eye,.when his feet stumbled against something—it was the corpse of him who, but a few moments before, had stood : proudly pre-eminent among his fellows—the bravest, the strongest among many brave and strong men. The mate stooped, and looked upon his face, it was covered with blood ; he lifted his head from the ground, and called upon his name, as if life was not quite extinct, the eyelids heavily unclosed for a moment, then closed for ever--the mate wept : be faintly entreated that they would remove. his. captain's life less farm from the place, and after this he is almost uncon scious of .what passed; he believes he was immediately l'taken into the palace, there he remained all nightoind the whole of the following day a prey to feelings, it may well be imagined, the most acute. He had sailed with Captain Stayers from boyhood ; he had risen into command under him ; he respected him as his commander, and loved him as his friend; his feeling!, on this occasion were such as did him honour, and entitle him to the esteem of all who value true affection. - - We him said the mate ,was kept . at'the palace during the'next day; in fact, he was detained there as a prisoner, the Governor dretsding, if he was allowed to go on board his ship, and commune with his brother officers and the men under their command, that he would inflict some ven geance for the murder of his captain ; and as all the Eng lish had• left the island with precipitation, and justly in censed at his conduct, he was under considerable appre hension that an attack would be made upon the island he accordingly had the military called out, (and under this name every male inhabitant is classed). In the mean time, the consternation on board the ships was extreme. The ardent feelirig so characteristic of British seamen, burst forth simultaneously, and to batter the town about his ears, and then, inflict summary justice upon Don Her rero, was the first and strong wish of the ere* of every ship ; their commanders, however, with great moderation, endeavoured to repress this spirit, prudently -considering that it could do no good to the deceased,. and might he productive of mischief to some innocent persons. In the source of the day the Governor sent an officer on board the several ships—this person, on his behalf, professed the ' greatest sorrow for the event, and offered such excuses as he could in exculpation of his conduct; he further stated, that it was his wish that the deceased should have honor able interment; that the several officers would attend the •same, and visit the shore upon the friendly footing they had formerly done. A consultation was accordingly held, and the result was, they went on shore with their respec tive surgeons, determining to examine the deceased pre vious to his burial. On the floor of : the guard-house lay the mangled remains of their friend—a melancholy spec tacle indeed -- covered with wounds and blood : and even at that early period, such is the effect of the climate, fast hastening to decay : on inspecting the corpse, the medical men enumerated the fatal wounds it had received, every one of which was mortal. After this painful inspection had been taken, the corpse was decently composed, placed in a coffin, and borne to a grave prepared for it at the back of the palace; all the 'English captains ofships, Mott of the officera of them,and numerous seamen attending the melancholy interment. The Church of England burial service was read in 811 im pressive manner, though in tones of sorrow, by one of the most intimate friends at' the deceased : the earth then was heaped upon one who through life had maintained the die outer of a brave and honourable We would willingly pass over unnoticed the conduct of those Spaniards who were either present at the burial of this ill-fated Man or crowded the street as it was borne along; it seems, however, wrong to do so, as it is a further proof of the ferocity of their character, and of the total ab sence of all proper feeling at such a moment and for such a bloody event. The utmost levity was displayed by t,ll . ; laughter was heard, and coarse jokes were uttered —nay, there was a sort of applause most apparent; and there is little question hut that they considered the murder most just and proper, the deceased being a heretic, and the refote of no importance in their estimation. It will naturally enough be inquired what the conduct of the British was after this. That they placed no faith in any representation made by the Governor is true ; that they believed he was privy to, if not actually present at, and assisting in, the murder, they hesitated not to avow ; that they wished and still wish for inquiry into the matter, and the infliction of an adequate punishment on the aggres sors, is equally certain; but no one felt himself competent what to suggest or how to act for the best under these cir cumstances; therefore nothing was done. The Governor, ,up to the latest dates from the island, still retained his si tuation (though, it is said, under evident depression of spirits), and no one had been called to account for the hand he had in the foul deed--:-a suf f icient proof that the Governor was a party to it; for had not this been the case, would he not, for his own honour's sake, for the honour of his country; have caused some inquiry to, be made, and some punishmenS inflicted upon the offenders? Such seems the obvious course for a man of honour to heiNe pursued; and failing so to act, he covers alike his name and office with odium and suspicion. It is said, when the Governor of Manilla heard of the transaction, he threatened to have Don Herrero recalled and the severest punishment inflicted u'po'n him : as the latter derives his authority from the former,,it is certain all this might have been done : as we have before noticed, however, Don Herrero still remained Governor of the island of Guam and its .dependencies. It is to be hoped and expected that the British Government will not be negligent in this matter.
